Today we will show you how to wire and mount your zūmo 590 or 595 to a motorcycle
If you are not confident that you can properly complete all of any of the following steps,
stop and seek assistance from an experienced installer
The first step is to wire the motorcycle power cables to your motorcycle
For this step, we will need the motorcycle cradle, the motorcycle power cable and two
electrical crimp connectors
These are not included and the size needed will vary upon your motorcycle's battery
Before you start, it is important to choose an accessible wiring path for the power and audio cables
Your ideal path will vary depending on the model of your motorcycle
Begin by disconnecting the zūmo from the motorcycle wiring harness
Next, locate the battery
Then disconnect the grounding wire
Once the ground wire has been safely removed, disconnect the positive wire
The fuse for the motorcycle power cable is located near one end of the cable
When cutting the wire, do not remove the fuse
A fuse is required for circuit protection from excess electrical current
If you choose to use crimps for this process, do that now
Now you will need to begin to attach the wiring harness
Start by attaching the positive wire from the wiring harness to the positive terminal on the battery
Now you will need to attach the grounding wire to the battery's grounding terminal
When the wiring is complete, you will need to attach the RAM mount to your motorcycle's handlebars
To complete this process, you will need the following pieces of equipment that came with the mounting unit
Begin by installing the U-bolt and the handlebar base
Place the U-bolt around the handlebar and thread the ends through the handlebar base
then tighten the nuts to secure the base
Now it is time to assemble the mount
After the handlebar base is installed, we will need to attach the base plate to the motorcycle mount
Thread the pan head screws through the washers, cradle, spacers and base plate
Then tighten the nuts to secure the base plate
Once the base plate is securely in place, attach it to the handlebar base
The last step is to install the zūmo to the motorcycle mount
Start by fitting the bottom of your device into the cradle
Tilt the device back until it snaps into place
When not in use, we recommend removing the zūmo from its mount as this is a continuous power solution
This is important because bikes being wired in this way may experience battery drain
If you encounter difficulty with any of the installation steps, please contact an experienced installer
